      According
      to
      the
      University
      Act,
      the
     
     
      official
      Visitor
      to

      has
      ‘‘authority

      As
      Lieutenant
      Governor,
      The
      Honourable
     
     
      Gilbert
      Clements
      is
      the
      Visitor
      to
      UPEI.
     
    

    
     
      This
      title
      is
      admittedly
      very
      vague,
     
     
      so
      the
      Lt.
      Governor
      has
      been
      touring
      the
     
     
      university
      with
      President
      Epperly
      over
      the
     
     
      past
      few
      weeks
      to
      learn
      more
      about
      this
     
     
      position.
      The
      position
      of
      Visitor
      is
      largely
     
     
      ceremonial,
      with
      responsibilities
      such
      as
     
     
      hosting
      special
      functions,
      awarding
      the
     
     
      Governor
      General’s
      medal,
      and
      installing
     
     
      the
      chancellor.
     
    

    
     
      On
      Monday,
      November
      13,
      The
     
     
      Honourable
      Gilbert
      Clements
      made
      his
     
     
      third
      in
      a
      series
      of
      familiarization
      visits
      to
     
     
      the
      university.
      His
      itinerary
      included
     
     
      meetings
      with
      professors,
      deans,
      and
     
     
      university
      staff.
      He
      also
      toured
      several
     
     
      buildings
      on
      campus,
      including
      a
      tour
      of
     
     
      the
      Barn
      with
      Student
      Union
      president
     
     
      Amber
      Allin.
      The
      Lt.
      Governor
      com-
     
     
      mented
      that
      ‘‘I
      have
      been
      here
      before,
      but
     
     
      had
      never
      had
      the
      chance
      to
      meet
      with
      the
     
     
      professors
      in
      detail,
      and
      it
      has
      been
      ex-
     
     
      tremely
      interesting,
      I
      hope
      to
      be
      back
     
     
      again.”’
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      title
      of
      Official
      Visitor
      is
      an
     
     
      honourary
      one,
      with
      a
      history
      dating
      back
     
     
      to
      the
      British
      traditions
      of
      Oxford
      and
     
     
      Cambridge.
      When
      Henry
      VIII
      created
      the
     
     
      Church
      of
      England
      and
      refounded
      Christ
     
     
      Church
      College,
      he
      was
      declared
      the
     
     
      Visitor.
      The
      reigning
      monarch
      becomes
     
     
      the
      hereditary
      visitor;
      to
      this
      day
      the
      Queen
     
     
      is
      the
      Visitor
      of
      Christ
      Church
      at
      Cam-
     
     
      bridge.
      Professor
      David
      Buck
      once
     
     
      attended
      Christ
      Church,
      and
      he
      says
      that
     
     
      after
      dinner
      toasts
      are
      made
      to
      ‘‘The
     
     
      Queen,
      The
      Visitor
      of
      the
      House.’’
     
    

    
     
      Buck
      also
      believes
      that
      UPEI
      is
      the
     
     
      only
      Canadian
      university
      to
      have
      an
     
     
      official
      visitor,
      although
      several
      universi-
     
     
      ties
      do
      have
      Rectors.
      At
      Queen’s
      univer-
     
     
      sity,
      the
      Rector
      is
      elected
      by
      the
      students
     
     
      to
      be
      their
      representative
      on
      the
      Board
      of
     
     
      Trustees.
     
    

    
     
      President
      Epperly
      and
      Mr.
      Clements
     
     
      hope
      that
      the
      series
      of
      visits
      will
      help
      them
     
     
      to
      redefine
      the
      role
      of
      the
      Official
      Visitor
     
     
      so
      as
      to
      provide
      the
      university
      with
      as
     
     
      much
      support
      as
      the
      Lt.
      Governor
      can
      give.
     
     
      ““If
      there
      is
      anything
      I
      can
      do
      to
      help
      the
     
     
      university,
      I’m
      prepared
      to
      help
      in
      any
      way
     
     
      we

      said
      Mr.
      Clements.

      continues
      its
      march
      through
      the
     
     
      nineties
      with
      yet
      another
      change
      in
      the
      front
     
     
      office,
      this
      time
      with
      the
      hiring
      of
      a
      new
     
     
      vice-president.
      A
      decision
      two
      decades
      in
     
     
      the
      making
      will
      finally
      materialize
      as
      the
     
     
      university
      becomes
      one
      of
      the
      last
      to
      have
     
     
      such
      a
      position.
      This
      move
      hasn’t
      been
     
     
      without
      opposition,
      but
      it
      may
      be
      a
      neces-
     
     
      sary
      one
      if
      the
      university
      wishes
      to
      flourish
     
     
      into
      the
      next
      century.
     
    

    
     
      While
      the
      title
      of
      vice-president
     
     
      may
      seem
      new
      to
      many,
      the
      position
      really
      is
     
     
      not.
      The
      last
      two
      presidents
      have
      each
      had
     
     
      assistants
      and
      Dr.
      Epperly
      is
      looking
     
     
      forward
      to
      the
      help.
      This
      help
      will
      come
      in
     
     
      many
      areas,
      especially
      planning,
      but
      reports
     
     
      will
      still
      be
      directed
      to
      the
      president
      herself.

      hiring

      tant
      move
      for
      the
      university.
      The
      Student
     
     
      Union
      shares
      these
      sentiments
      as
      well,
      along
     
     
      with
      many
      faculty
      members.
     
    

    
     
      Students,
      on
      the
      other
      hand,
      are
     
     
      generally
      less
      than
      enthusiastic,
      not
      because
     
     
      they
      don’t
      see
      the
      need
      but
      because
      of
      fear
     
     
      of
      yet
      another
      rise
      in
      tuition
      fees.
      This
      fear
     
     
      is
      not
      supported
      by
      facts.
      Tuition
      fees
      are
     
     
      always
      subject
      to
      change
      at
      any
      given
      time
     
     
      but
      this
      new
      position
      will
      not
      cause
      a
      rise.
     
     
      The
      cost
      of
      the
      new
      position
      has
      already
     
     
      been
      worked
      into
      the
      budget,
      so
      any
      new
     
    
   
   
    
     
      at
      UPEI
     
    
   
   
    
     
      blows

      on
      the
      wallets
      of
      students
      will
      not
     
     
      come
      from
      this
      area.
     
    

    
     
      The
